LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement announcing his annual summit for 2026:

“Building on the success of our past three annual summits, I am excited to announce that this year’s summit will focus on fraud and consumer protection, topics that are central to the work we do every day at the Office of the Attorney General. Our lineup of speakers will include attorney general colleagues and experts from around the country, as well as some who are on the front lines fighting fraud here in Arkansas.

“The Fraud and Consumer Protection Summit will be held Monday, September 28, and Tuesday, September 29, at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock. Breakfast and lunch will be provided the first day. Like previous summits, admission is free, but prior registration is
required.

“The summit will cover such topics as identifying and avoiding common scams, recognizing price gouging, learning little-known truths about robocalls and text scams, understanding how we address Medicaid fraud, and much more.

“Everyone is impacted by fraud in one way or another, so this summit truly has something for everyone. We’ve had as many as 1,500 registrants for our previous summits, and I expect we’ll see a similar response this year. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for announcements of speakers.”
